My experience was one of those typical ones: used prozac for almost a decade before it pooped out. It worked miraculously for about the first half of that decade. Then I used zoloft for about a year, and it worked so-so at best, and only for a few months. Tried prozac again- no response, even at higher dose. Later cycled through a few different SSRIs, no help. The last one was cymbalta, and it made my depression much much worse. No more ssris for me. If I find a medication that works well for me again, I am going to be careful not to go off of it unless I have to, lest this happen again. I hope cycling through selegeline/Emsam doesn't impair how I will respond to other MAOIs, if that turns out to be my next direction.
